Lent engagetogether - Intergenerational worship ideas

In this resource you will find ideas to complement a series of six typical services originally created by Rev Brian Cole for Lent in Year A of the Revised Common Lectionary. In most cases you will find that the words and songs suggested by Brian remain unchanged. What this resource includes is a range of additional suggestions that encourage greater participation by people of all ages and facilitate intentional intergenerational engagement. These ideas are highlighted with either a “Say”, “Prepare” or “Do” symbol. The basic approach is to take as a foundation the general principles of multi-age worship – such as seeking to be multi-sensory, multi-intelligence and multi-ability aware – and add a layer of intergenerational awareness. Broadly speaking, this resource addresses the Welcome, Call to Worship, Prayer of Confession, Music and Bible Reading elements often found in the first third of a mainline worship service.
